Chapter 820: No Wedding
Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang had already been to Tang Min's parents' home. Seeing that they lived in a magnificent small Western-style house, they were not as surprised as Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying when they were in the restaurant.
When everyone entered the box, the old lady had been helped by Tang Ye and Gu Jingqi to sit in the main seat, and they poured her tea.
The old lady's eyes were fixed on the door. When she saw everyone coming in, a look of nervousness and uneasiness flashed across her face.
She was weak and felt very tired sitting like this, but she couldn't care about anything else at the moment and just stared at the figures approaching the door.
Tang Jianye said to everyone enthusiastically, "Come on, everyone, please take a seat. Big brother, let's sit next to mom."
Tang Liye didn't say anything, but he cooperated with Tang Jianye's suggestion. He glanced at the seat to the right of the old lady, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally walked over and sat down.
Tang Jianye sat on the left side of the old lady, and then arranged for everyone else to take a seat.
The old lady of the Tang family had been feeling uneasy, but at this moment, her two sons sat down next to her, and the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart instantly dissipated a little.
More comfort and touching.
There were two large round tables in the private room. According to the previous dining rules, Tang Ye and Gu Jingqi had already sat at another table.
Just as Gu Jinghui was about to go to his elders, he was quickly pulled over by Gu Jingqi.
"Brother, sister-in-law, come, let's sit over here."
"oh."
Gu Jinghui glanced at Tang Liye, who had a dignified look on his face, and followed Gu Jingqi over.
After everyone was seated, Tang Jianye took the menu and asked everyone to order.
Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang were sitting there, not daring to move, let alone ordering food. They couldn't even recognize all the words on the menu.
Tang Min smiled and said, "Second Uncle, you and my dad can order. You are familiar with this place."
"OK."
Tang Jianye opened the menu and said, "Just eat."
After ordering the dishes, Tang Jianye also ordered two bottles of good wine.
While waiting for the food, Molly smiled and said to Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang, "My dear relatives, let's have dinner together tomorrow. On the one hand, we can get to know each other better, and on the other hand, we can discuss the wedding arrangements for our two children."
Gu Decheng quickly responded, "Okay, Xiaomin's mother, we don't understand the customs and habits here in the city. You tell us what to do, and we will cooperate."
Molly said, "It's nothing special. The hotel has been booked and invitations to relatives and friends have been sent out."
"As for the banquet, Jingchuan and Xiaomin will be in charge of the dishes, as well as the cigarettes, alcohol, and melon seeds. They need to be checked."
Gu Decheng confirmed with Molly, "Then we won't have a banquet at home, we'll all go to the hotel, right?"
Originally, Gu Jingchuan had told them that the family didn't need to prepare anything and everyone should go to the hotel.
Gu Decheng had never seen a wedding held in a hotel.
I was confused by what Gu Jingchuan said.
Now that his in-laws were meeting, he wanted to confirm it carefully.
The wedding is only about a week away. If they were in the countryside, they would have already started hiring a cook, slaughtering pigs if they have them, and getting tables, chairs and benches from the neighbors in advance.
In short, there is a lot to do.
But now they are in the city, and the children are too busy working to do anything, so they don't know where to start.
Molly met the puzzled looks of Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang, and nodded, "Yes, we won't have a feast at home."
The old lady at the main seat also tried her best to join in their conversation, and said with a smile, "Kids nowadays are very trendy, and they all get married in hotels, which is convenient."
Gu Decheng still had a lot of questions in his mind, "If the bride's escort team is sent directly to the hotel, will they also have breakfast at the hotel?"
Gu Jingchuan said, "Dad, I told you that weddings in the city are different from our hometown. We just have a banquet. There will be no big pot of food in the morning. The time for the banquet will be set. The guests will go directly to the hotel and will not come to our house."
Tang Jianye also said, "Brother Gu, Jingchuan is right. After the ceremony, there will be a banquet."
“Oh, I see.”
Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang were a little confused. So according to them, the bride's family wouldn't send the bride off?
Everyone go to the hotel to have their own meal?
How can this be possible?
How can we skip such a sacred and important ceremony as sending off the bride?
Molly asked, "My dear relatives, your family is sending the bride off, right?"
Gu Decheng nodded, "Yes, in the morning, all the relatives and friends of the bride gather at home, eat something, and then set off when the wedding procession arrives. After arriving at the groom's house, they eat a big pot of food first. After eating, the relatives walk around the village, and then sit at a banquet in the afternoon. After the banquet, the wedding procession can go back."
The suona for welcoming the bride and the firecrackers for seeing her off are both indispensable.
“I see.”
Molly smiled and said, "The customs vary from place to place."
Gu Jingchuan looked at his parents who looked dazed. "Dad, Mom, don't worry about it. Just take care of yourself and go to the hotel to participate. We will take care of the rest."
Gu Decheng sighed, "We are completely in the dark, and we can't help even if we want to."
Soon, the service started to serve the dishes.
Tang Jianye ordered all the main dishes. When they were served on the table, Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying's eyes widened and they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Gu Jingxiu felt a little embarrassed when she saw her elder brother and sister-in-law's embarrassing appearance.
On this side, after the dishes were served, Tang Jianye raised a glass and said a few polite words.
Tang Jianye suddenly felt that he was stealing the show, but his elder brother was indifferent and seemed a little worried, so he could only warm up the atmosphere on his elder brother's behalf.
During the meal, Tang Liye still didn't say anything, but he picked up some mushrooms from the plate in front of the old lady with his chopsticks.
He remembered that his mother used to love eating mushrooms.
Every time she made chicken stewed with mushrooms, she would eat all the mushrooms by herself.
When he and Tang Jianye were young, they went out to play. Sometimes they would pick mushrooms next to trees after it had rained. His father would fry them and let his mother eat them.
In fact, this old lady was happy all her life.
When the old lady saw the food on the plate and realized that it was brought by the person on her right, her eyes suddenly became misty.
She tried her best to control her emotions, but in the end she couldn't help it and her eyes fell on the plate.
After Tang Liye picked up the dishes, he naturally ate his own, and then talked to Gu Decheng and the others from time to time.
Everything is so natural.
The old lady's heart was filled with some kind of emotion. She put the piece of mushroom into her mouth tremblingly. Because of her bad teeth, she ate slowly.
Her tears flowed into her mouth, tasting salty.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, her eldest son still remembers her favorite dishes.
Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying had already had a meal in the afternoon at Lin Yongqiang's invitation, so they were not hungry at the moment.
They also came here with the purpose of meeting Tang Min's family.
However, when they saw the various delicacies brought out by the waiters one after another, they couldn't help themselves.
I have to eat even if my stomach bursts.
After all, they had basically never seen these things.
Wang Ying put the child in her arms into Gu Jinghui's hands and started to eat heartily.
